Chapter 522
Ruby chuckled, leaning into Neil's arms, but her eyes darted over to Neil, who was behind the wheel. She leaned in closer and whispered, "If that girl turns out to be a good match, maybe we should introduce her to Kash. She'd make a lovely daughter-in-law."
"Sounds like a plan. Kash is already thirty and still single. Poor guy."
Even though they were trying to keep it low-key, Kash could hear every single word.
"Can you guys at least pretend to talk behind my back?"
Ruby laughed, "We wanted you to hear! Why would we hide?"
Kash just sighed.
"By the time your dad and I hit thirty, we already had two kids. You, on the other hand, haven't even held a girl's hand, let alone thought about marriage."
Kash sighed again.
"We're not trying to rush you into anything, but you know, people have normal human desires. Your lack of interest in women has us a little concerned."
Kash remained silent.
"Of course, we're pretty open-minded here. If you don't have a girlfriend, we'd be okay with you having a boyfriend instead..."
"Mom!"
Kash couldn't take it anymore.
"I've got my life under control, thanks. If you're that free, maybe you could work on your cooking skills so we don't end up in the ER again."
Ruby was a powerhouse in many areas, but her cooking was another story entirely, often ending in culinary chaos. Just last night, she enthusiastically whipped up some scrambled eggs with tomatoes.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
The aftermath? The whole family spent the night sick, with poor Wayne ending up in the hospital for food poisoning. No one could quite figure out how she turned such a simple dish into a disaster.
Seeing Kash's serious face, Ruby playfully stuck out her tongue. Her son, ever the model of decency and integrity. But she loved teasing him.
When night fell, the Shaw household was buzzing with activity. Ruby was itching to get back in the kitchen. The head chef tried his best to keep her out, but she was persistent.
Neil watched Ruby from the dining room, his laptop open as he worked. He would look up every now and then, smiling warmly at her.
Each of the Shaw brothers was
caught up in their own world. Kash,
a neat freak, went straight for a shower after getting home. Feeling fresh, he dressed in a sharp suit, as Neil mentioned they were expecting important guests.
After getting ready, he reached into his pocket and found a small note that read, "Dear, it's time for your medicine."
The memory of that girl suddenly washed over him. Who was she, and how did she know someone planned to drug him that day?
He had investigated and found out
that it was his political rival's doing, who had bribed a playboy to set him up using a woman. That day, he thought he was meeting Isaac in a private room, assuming it was all part of Isaac's circle. Only later did herealize Isaac had no clue about the trap.
It was a setup orchestrated by his rival, using some of Isaac's acquaintances to bait him. But Kash wasn't easily caught in such low-level traps.
Still, he felt grateful to that girl. For some reason, her eyes felt strangely familiar, comforting, and warm, It was as if they had known each other forever, even though it was their first encounter.
Staring at the note, Kash found himself longing to meet her again.
